I have fond memories of sitting with Leslie and her good friend Jackie Moore in the TJ cafeteria at lunch times during their Sophomore year. After over fifty years, the sorrow of losing Leslie so young seems so fresh, but the warm memories of her remain vivid and are cherished by me. Rick Rottman (TJ ‘73)

Leslie & I were good buddies in Jr. high and our first few years of high school. We planned to be nuns together later in life! We had a lot of laughs together - double dated our jr. year. I was devestated when she was killed in a car accident a few days before graduation - we had just made plans to get together and sign each other's year book........always think of her on her birthday - we would have been great "sisters!"
